Exchange Management Shell error

I'm receiving a strange error when running a EMS cmdlet. I have an 2003/2010 Exchange organization. There are two active directory sites. Site 1 has 3 domain controllers and Site 2 has one domain controller. In Site 1 we have 1 Exchange 2003 server, 2 Exchange 2010 HT/CAS servers, and 3 Exchange 2010 Mailbox Servers. All 2010 servers are SP1 RU 6.

MBX1,2,3 are in a DAG (DAG1). From both a HT/CAS and an MBX server, I am running the cmdlet: Get-ExchangeServer | where {$_.ismailboxserver -eq $true} | Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus. From both, I receive the same error:

The operation couldn't be performed because object 'MLK-MBX-01' couldn't be found on 'DC1.mlk-austin.local'.
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus], ManagementObjectNotFoundException

The operation couldn't be performed because object 'MLK-MBX-02' couldn't be found on 'DC1.mlk-austin.local'.

Can anyone provide assistance on why this may be happening? AD replication is working correctly.

Not sure why are you specifying Mailbox server in the command as only Mailbox server has Copy status :(

Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus

- Rancy
Get-ExchangeServer | Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus

DC1.mlk-austin.local
What is the role of this server ? and where does it resides ?

I am trying to get the copy status of all mailboxes servers, so that is why I am running get-exchangeserver first.

DC1 is a 2008 R2 domain controller and the FSMO holder of all FSMO roles. It resides in our primary site (Austin).
